GodWright v1.1.0 is now live! This is one of GodWright’s largest updates yet. Version 1.1.0 introduces complete world templates, the Custom Builder, direct Steam Workshop publishing, new map shapes, expanded character appearances, authored disaster artwork, a fully interactive tutorial, private in-game bug reporting, and many rendering, compatibility, and interface improvements. Complete World Templates Entire simulated worlds can now be saved, shared, reopened, and edited as reusable templates. Unlike a normal terrain preset, a world template is a complete snapshot of the world at the moment it is saved. Complete simulation snapshots: Templates preserve terrain, elevation, moisture, buildings, roads, farms, creatures, civilizations, villages, religions, diplomacy, warfare, trade, weather, time of day, the current era, and the camera position.Local template library: Saved templates appear in a new dedicated browser and remain separate from ordinary save files.Live previews: Every locally created template receives a generated preview image representing the saved world.Template metadata: Packages contain their title, description, preview, complete world snapshot, publication information, and SteamCMD metadata.Safe package naming: Template names are sanitized before being used as folders or package identifiers.Collision protection: Saving a new template with the same name as an existing package creates a unique package key instead of silently overwriting an unrelated world.Continue editing: A locally saved template can be reopened in the Custom Builder and updated using the same package.Workshop editing safety: Editing a subscribed Workshop template creates an editable local copy rather than modifying downloaded Workshop content.Automatic directories: The local template directory is created automatically on Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck. Template Browser The World Generation screen now includes a Templates button that opens the complete local and Steam Workshop templa...
